What does Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability Insurance cover?
D&O insurance can cover defense costs, settlements and other financial protection for managers against the consequences of actual or alleged “wrongful acts”. Policies cover the personal liability of company directors but also the reimbursement of the insured company in case it has paid the claim of a third party on behalf of its managers in order to protect them. Directors & Officers insurance is an important aspect of a corporate risk management strategy and can help your company attract and retain qualified executives and board members.
Who is D&O insurance right for?
Any business, including private companies, public companies and financial institutions with a board of directors should have Directors & Officers liability insurance coverage.
What if I do not have D&O insurance?
If your business works with vendors or government entities, or has employees or customers, you may have exposure that could make your organization and its executives vulnerable to costly legal action and personal losses.
